Lismore College (formerly Lismore Comprehensive School)[1] is a secondary-school located in Craigavon, County Armagh, Northern Ireland.[2] It is a Catholic maintained school and was opened in 1972. The name comes from the Irish Lios Mór, meaning 'great ringfort'; referring to the remains of a Mediaeval ringfort that lie within the school grounds, constructed sometime between 900-1200.[3] [4]
